What if you found that a marine animal had its own GPS
system? Would you automatically conclude that such a thing could blindly
evolve, or would you conclude that an intelligent Mind had to design such a
thing?
A loggerhead turtle migrates millions of miles over its
lifetime, and, each year, it always returns to the very beach in Japan where it
had been hatched to lay its own eggs after feeding on the coast of California.

It has been known for decades that loggerheads
have a built-in “compass” in their heads that allow them to know their latitude…Loggerheads
were found to have not just a “compass” but a built-in “GPS” system detecting
both the intensity and angle of the magnetic field.
Malone argues that we intelligent beings had required
hundreds of years to develop such devices. Could they have just happened
through a mindless process?
Before you answer this question, consider the fact that
animals have other equally complex and profound sensory systems like sonar, sight,
radar, and infrared heat sensors. Do we have any evidence that these can arise
from a chance and mindless process?
Let’s take it to a more basic level. There is absolutely no
evidence that anything ever happens or is caused naturally (without
intelligence or design). No one has ever been able to provide a shred of
evidence otherwise. Meanwhile, some have mentioned snowflakes and crystals as
evidence that design can have a natural cause. However, when they are
challenged by the obvious fact that these minerals are merely replicating their
pre-existing chemical design, which had already been programmed into them, they
have no further answer.
Naturalism is an utterly bankrupt idea, although it now holds Western culture hostage. However, few have eyes to see and to proclaim that the King is without clothing.
